More than 3,000 years ago, where Mariental is now located, and all the way including Tses, all that veld area could once used to be a huge river with massive water, and possibly that water has now become a massive underground aquifer, possibly with more enough water for drinking, agricultural or commercial use to last hundreds of years.

My first trip to Tses in March 2012 for the discovery and establishment of Tses Glass, as we were driving with our friends from Nissi Group, I was explaining to them how unique the landscape between Mariental and Tses looks. On the left side of B1 (south bound), has this unique but distinct feature of a cut-off water, and you can clearly see where the water once reached by looking at the edge of the current land, how the water waves had curled through the upper part of the outer land, to cause the current unique isotope level of water waves as they hit the land.

And when you look at the right side of B1 (south bound), you can clearly see the plain of water, how the water once congregated the whole area, which has now become a large veld, but whatever that water was or still is, it may contain some form of chemicals or simply caused the soil not to be suitable for growing bigger trees any more, and that perhaps for the past 3,000 years, no trees have been able to grow in that area, except some isolated shrubs and grass currently in the area.

Therefore, I won’t be surprised if there’s a load of coal, natural gas, or oil in that veld area between Mariental all the way passing Tses, especially on the banks of the Fish River.

But only a comprehensive and detailed scientific study could prove my stated hypothesis wrong. It will be good to have a team of international scientists to check this out.

Namibia is richly and infinitely endowed with diverse mineral resources for the well-being of the Namibian people, as well as some awesome herbs that could be used for medicinal purpose to possibly cure some of today’s most common diseases and illness around the world.

A million years from now, or even a billion years from now, what and how is history going to be written about us, the humans? What’s the earth going to be like, let’s say 10 billion years from now?

Would there be anything left for our children’s children’s future generation? With all the things that are happening everywhere, from global warming, the depletion of ozone layer, the depletion of all the natural resources, from the water in the oceans, the plants, humans and animals, what would be left for the on-coming generation?

What and how is our history going to be written about, 500 million years from now? What’s our excuse for inexcusably messing things up for all the generations and generations to come? How are we going to explain to what we have done to Mother Nature, to everything we govern on this earth?

Some experts estimate the earth to have been formed about 4.6 billion years ago, and from about 250 million years ago, the dinosaurs and other earthly creatures roamed the earth, up to about 65 million years ago, the dinosaurs suffered a major catastrophic distinction, some believes that a large meteorite hit the earth, and that was the cause for a massive distinction to both earthly plants and animals.

About 150 thousand years ago, Adam and Eve were sanctioned to work in the Garden of Eden, and about 4,900 years ago, Moses freed the children of Israel from the bondage of Egypt, and about 2006 years ago, Jesus was born and crucified on the cross, and on the third day, He was risen.

It’s obvious that history is written for every event, whether it is about Abraham, Noah, the famine in Egypt or the freeing of all the Negro slaves in America about 400 years ago. Every year when history is written and all the major events, good or catastrophic, are all noted at the forefront of the “never-to-be-forgotten” page, let it be the crumbling of the Roman Empire, the British Empire, or the end of World War I, II, Cold War, Vietnam War, the Gulf War, the end of South African Apartheid, the overthrow of the Saddam Hussein Regime, or the current Israel-Lebanon War, in every catastrophic event, the lives of hundreds and thousands of people and animals are unreasonably, incomprehensibly wasted. When a 500lbs bomb is dropped anywhere, every living creature in that area is completely and perhaps forever destroyed, and radiation may stay there for years to come, which may cause incurable diseases and illness both to humans, plants, animals and or birds.

What must we be accountable for, we as humans who have, from the very beginning, have been naturally sanctioned to govern this earth and everything in it? What are we doing to help curb and or stop any future devastating global events that may cause the spread of diseases to our children’s future generation? What’s it that we are supposed to do on here, on this earth? Are we to help build or destroy it? What is it? When history is written 500 years from now, what will it be? What will it say? What are we doing to help make our planet, this planet, to be more habitable for our children’s children future generation? What and how will it be, this planet, planet earth?

Aren’t we supposed to be accountable for all that we do now, so that our children’s children’s future generation, anytime from now, whether it’s 20 years from now or 10 billion years from now, will they have playgrounds and backyards, soccer fields and clean ocean water to play and swim in them? What’s it? Why are we like this now? What do we need to change, all of us, whether it’s Africa, North and South America, Asia, Europe, or Australia? Are we really doing enough to help secure the future of our children’s future generation? Are we? Are you? What and how?

My main man, Al Mr. Gore, the joke of late night television shows and the comedy of the all-around town circus, has added another trophy to his unmatched and uncontestable long resume; the most precious Nobel Peace Prize.

It’s now a worldwide phenomenal news and long repeated tale that Al Mr. Gore has won the 2007 Nobel Peace Prize with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change for his Academy Award-winning documentary, An Inconvenient Truth.

Which one sounds better, I wanna be like Mike, or I wanna be like Gore?

In reality, Gore has the most impressive resume more than anybody else on earth. He’s the only one in the whole world to have a resume that includes graduating from Harvard University, studied religion but later enrolled in a law school but without graduating at Vanderbilt, then he served in the Vietnam war as a journalist, then became a Congressman, serving in the U. S. House of Representatives from 1977 to 1985, then became a US Senator, from 1985 to 1993, representing the Great State of Tennessee.

And then he became the forty-fifth Vice President of the United States, serving from 1993 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton, and thereafter, he became the 2000-majority elected President of the United States, but without actually serving as U.S. President, but only after he had gotten tired of recounting and gave George W. Bush the Electoral College victory, and consequently the presidency, daaaank, Al, Mr. Gore.

Thereafter, he became a college professor, teaching at four universities in 2001 as a visiting professor at Columbia University Graduate School of Journalism, Fisk University, Middle Tennessee State University, and UCLA.

Then he founded his own television station, Current TV, which has received an Emmy Award, but he was still dissatisfied, so became an Actor, starring in a self-made documentary film, An Inconvenient Truth, which has won an Academy Award.

He then became a concert promoter, organizing the benefit concert, Live Earth, in an effort to raise awareness about climate change. The concert was held all over the world, with live stages in many different countries on July 7, 2007 and was televised live in many different countries around the world.

Al Mr. Gore is the author of the 2007 book, The Assault on Reason, in which he argues that “there is a trend in U.S. politics towards ignoring facts and analysis when making policy decisions”.

But Al Mr. Gore is not done yet, today, he is president of the American television channel, Current TV, which won the Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Television award at the 2007 Primetime Emmys.

And the best part of it all, is that Al Mr. Gore wrote me yesterday, and everyone else in his mailing list, saying that he will donate 100 percent of the proceeds of the Nobel Peace Prize award to the Alliance for Climate Protection, a bipartisan non-profit organization that is devoted to changing public opinion in the U.S. and around the world about the urgency of solving the climate crisis.

Now Al Mr. Gore is going to run, again, for the presidency of the United States of America, if only DraftGore.com’s petition can convince him to run in the 2008 presidential election, and without any doubts, he will definitely win the presidency. And then, he will add to his loooooong resume, as the forty-fourth President of the United States, his Vice-President will then be Bill Clinton, yeah right, what a team would that be?
